Guides & Hinges

Hardware That Works Every Day

The hardware inside your cabinets determines how they feel to use for the next 20 years. We spec quality slides and hinges on every build — no exceptions.

Most people choose cabinets for how they look. But how they feel — the smooth pull of a drawer, the quiet close of a door — is what you notice every single day. We offer  soft-close hardware and standard hardware. Here's what goes into every cabinet we make.

Hinges

Soft-Close Concealed Hinges

$$Standard on Every Build

European-style concealed hinges with integrated soft-close dampers. The hinge is completely hidden when the door is closed — no visible hardware on the face frame. The soft-close mechanism slows the door in the last inch of travel so it never slams. Adjustable in three directions for precise alignment after installation.

Specs

  • Full overlay, half overlay, and inset configurations
  • 105° opening angle standard
  • Three-way adjustment (up/down, left/right, in/out)
  • Integrated soft-close damper

Standard Close Concealed Hinges

$No Damper

The same European-style concealed hinge as our soft-close option — fully hidden when the door is closed — without the integrated damper. A straightforward, reliable hinge for customers who prefer a standard close or are replacing existing hardware. Adjustable in three directions for precise alignment.

Specs

  • Full overlay, half overlay, and inset configurations
  • 105° opening angle standard
  • Three-way adjustment (up/down, left/right, in/out)
  • No soft-close damper

Drawer Slides

Undermount Soft-Close Slides

$$$Standard on Every Build

Undermount slides mount beneath the drawer box and are completely hidden when the drawer is open. They provide a smooth, stable glide and a soft-close return on every drawer. The drawer box floats above the slide, which means no visible hardware on the side of the drawer.

Specs

  • Hidden when drawer is open
  • Soft-close standard
  • Full extension (100%)
  • Weight rated to 100 lbs per pair

Full-Extension Side-Mount Slides

$$Full Access

Side-mount slides are visible on the sides of the drawer box but provide full extension — the drawer pulls out completely so you can access the full depth. Used in base cabinets where full access to the back of the drawer is important, such as pots and pans drawers.

Specs

  • Full 100% extension
  • Soft-close or regular-close available
  • Visible on drawer sides
  • Heavy-duty versions rated to 150+ lbs

Heavy-Duty Drawer Slides

$$$For Pots, Pans & Appliances

Pots and pans drawers, appliance garages, and any drawer carrying significant weight need heavy-duty slides rated for the load. We spec slides rated to 150 lbs or more for these applications — the same smooth operation, built for the weight.

Specs

  • 150 lb weight rating minimum
  • Full extension
  • Soft-close standard
  • For pots/pans, appliances, and heavy storage
